Legacy RallyGuy

I dont think they were hacked, the engine isn't even in the car at the moment, it's on a shelf, all rebuilt and the engine bay is quite clean. perhaps the guy rebuilt em with factory appearances... Dunno, but the car is structurally very smooth and I've yet to find rust that's not from someone buffing off paint, and that's just surface rust! The floorboards are even pristine under it! Hmm, good point, and strange that I never considered there being a two door "sedan" I always considered a sedan defined by a car having four doors! And yes, looks way fun! It's scary how complete the car is... I might not need one, I think I can strip the bondo off... *crosses fingers* Though I might take ya up on some of those parts after acquisition! It seems that he had two different wheel sizes on it, but tires of the same height... It looks weird. the four wheels match in style but one set is a 13" set from the GL and one set from a brat, the GL being rolled that gave up it's guts for this, only had two good wheels he explained. What is funny is that I like this car, the more and more I research this thing... And I'm a person that once I get my hands on something, I can really dive into it and knock out lots of progress... My cars are not front burner right now, this kitchen for my friend is... but if a certain person buys my mustang, I'm going to be all over this subaru! And you guys shall see some massive progress!

I believe it's still there, but like in the back seat... It has all of it's parts minus the original driveline, plus most of the parts from the AWD 1.8L Donar car. I might need a few odds and ends, but I need to sort out the sale of one of my other projects... Because I want to restore this, but finish up the wing/flares... I like the look really, but I want it to look factory, not all bondo'ed-in.

Yeah, the ea82's parts are cheap! for the most part and it's a simple engine... Wisconsin you say... That is close to Missouri, but Hmm, but would I have to live there?

Subaru I hope to buy: The rear wing/tube bumper are kinda funky, the guy applied lots of bondo to smooth the wing out, but never got around to sanding it... Same with the fender flares, they were to be frenched in, but look very OEM fitment under the bondo *one flare doesn't have bondo and it looks very nice* The hood only has a few small dings The interior and other things not bolted on all seem to be in the car Lots more bondo.. MAN that wing looks OEM Some sort of strange equilizer from a time when 8 tracks were "Ace! To the max!!" This isn't exactly it, but it's the closest I could find online... What I've found out... Guy bought it in the early 80s/late 70s for $100 because it had no engine/trans. His g/f rolled his nearly new GL-10 Wagon. He then swapped his mechanicals into the car. 1. Has a funky lil wing (appears very OEM)... 2. It's a manual... (5spd, Full 1.8L Swap and Dual Range gearbox from a later GL.) 3. It WAS a 1600/1400cc engine and was FWD. 4. Here's the VIN A22L-926353 5. Has a funky half-assed vinyl roof and Brat flip up sunroof venty-things. 6. Has the same style steel-spoke triangle cut out subaru brat wheels... 7. Originally a CA car, hasn't been driven since the early 80's 8. Tube front and rear bumpers 9. Complete CAR! (Was just taken apart for paint/bodywork almost 25 years ago...) *only big-ish problem* is that the guy had licensed it last in CA and since then, he cannot find the title... I was wondering how hard is it to apply for a lost title FOR missouri or does he have to mail something to CA? I'm thinking it'd need a full restoration, but it's rust free, just a bunch of half-assed body work. Any advice or info is greatly appreciated.

That's very cool! It's amazing how few vintage Subarus survived... I know you keep saying the paint isn't as nice in person, but I'll bet that doesn't stop you from grinning as you start him up and drive around. :3 Modifying my cars is always a daunting task, as I'm very picky and I have to say I love where you're going with it! Looks great!

And the real bummer was that the body was pristine, had 68,000 miles and the only thing that didn't work was the fuel lid release, it'd have to be opened by popping the trunk and opening it up. I miss that car, it was my first Scooby!

I've learned that they sometimes liked to pick a certain letter just as a designation for a driveline... It may not stand for anything except the letter itself that denotes certain options... my guess would be the drive position, it is customary in Japan to refer to the engine and drive setup as... FF front engine - front drive FR frong engine - rear drive RR rear engine - rear drive But then again, they might have decided it just needed another letter! *nodding in agreement* I'm curious about your car, are those fender flares stock? I found a 1975/1976 Coupe in a barn, it not only has fender flares, but has a trunk lip (duck tail spoiler) as well... I should put up some pictures of it! It's so strange, and has an AWD driveline and a Manual Dual Range gearbox and I think a 1.6 or 1.8L engine that someone put into it... With flip up Brat style sunroofs... Any idea if these fender flares make this a rare car?

Thanks Yeah, miss the SS Legacy, it's still pushing 18psi and whipping on STis and Evos out in Utah by it's current owner... The current arent too bad either though oops, I forgot my other one... I had a 1989 GL Turbo FWD that I converted to a GL-10 but sadly that died in an oil leak fire...

Subarus I currently own: 2004 WRX STi: It has 850cc Deatchwerks, GT30 and snazzy stuffs all black door cards/dash/center console swap, aluminum driveshaft, suspension goodies 400HP-ish until finished tuning Subaru Legacy Baja ZL²: Chopped rear fenders, tire well delete, tube framed tire rack over trunk. Subaru I hope to buy: This isn't exactly it, but it's very close! What I've found out... Guy bought it in the early 80s/late 70s for $100 because it had no engine/trans.

I was wondering how hard is it to apply for a lost title FOR missouri or does he have to mail something to CA? Looks like this: (but yellow and white-hackjob paint job) Similar tail lights, but didn't have the trim piece behind em.. Though it may be in the trunk... I think they molded on fender flares or were "fixing" them. The wing appears to be poorly "smoothed" onto the decklid.. But looks like they just slapped some bondo on the seam, didn't hose up the wing or decklid from what I can see. I'm thinking it'd need a full restoration, but it's rust free, just a bunch of half-assed body work. Any advice or info is greatly appreciated.
